Huh, nice to see more of Kenny after how little he appeared during the GF, but sounds like they're setting up for wherever Dawn's going next, so sad to see her getting ready to go, but at least Ash and Kenny will finish their battle. At least I don't think they've ever finished their battle before? Dawn won't be leaving this early, not with the whole Sinnoh League to go where she'll be supporting Ash, but still, it'll probably be set-up?
And yay, glad to see Buck makes an appearance before this series ends, that covers all of the partner trainers. Wonder what he'll be doing this episode or whether he'll mention that mountain.
